Here’s to our end of 2024/beginning of 2025 podcastravaganza episode, combining out last recording with three other recordings made in the spring/summer of 2024 that never made it out in the time they were supposed to come out, because well, dumb reasons.
(0:00 – 1:39:08) Section A: Convention Recap, TV Series Talkback – It just works better to segment our discussions into these sections since it’s another big block episode anyways, so whatever. This gets into Internet Archive being down back in September of 2024, Jonn talks about someone passing out in a movie, Dustin being invovled with TigerCon 2024, Getting to chaperone with Voice Acting legends Dan Woren and Tiffany Grant, USA anime company talks, Dustin regards his tales of getting through a Property Management course for work, the 2024 Election Results talk, John concludes his crazy neighbors story arc, Jonn goes to a Mesa Toy Con, The Penguin and Severance TV series review and much more in the middle.
(1:39:08 – 3:39:22) Section B: The “Freeform Episode” Talk – This was our recording from sometime in late May of 2024, where it’s old-as-heck news now regarding Trump’s conviction discussion and how that’s going to effect the 2024 election (I don’t need to say more than that). This also gets into Jonn review of Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Freedom in theaters, Dune 2 and some Miyazaki film talk. Also included is the Toru Fuyura scandel, late night TV talk, the Nick Rekita online drama, how Youtube celebraties are trash, and much more.
(3:39:22 – 5:14:45) Section C: Summer 2024 Movie Reviews, Momocon 2024, and Mr. Jonn’s Sketchy Neighborhood Drama – This was the somewhat part 2 of the last recording we did, but this time we highlight the major beginnings of Jonn sketchy neighbors shenanigans back in June of 2024. Dustin talks about his highlights from Momocon, Jonn goes to a local toy con, and finding a cool Gundam tape from Otaku Joe’s. We also talk about Furiosa, Bad Boys: Ride or Die, the Resident Evil films, Micheal Bay filmography, the music of Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad, certain people in the video ripping/archive community, and much more!
(5:14:45 – 6:56:52) Section D: “Pissing Around” Con Review Episode – This was recorded late spring of 2024 where Jonn and Dustin talk about SC Comicon and another Con in Phoenix, AZ. This gets into talking about future travel plans that never materialized, collecting stuff we find at conventions, Dustin meeting Meeting Eddie Deezen in the most “intersting” way possible, how Chris Chan was kicked out of a con in Raleigh, NC; Star Trek and classic SciFi TV shows talk, The Eltingville Club talk, the solar eclipse of 2024 and much more.

With 2021 bringing back larger conventions again, Dustin and Jonn talk about their experiences with Anime Weekend Atlanta and Phoenix Toy Con.
(0:00 – 1:08:28) Convention Reports 2021: Jonn hits the ground running with what he did at Phoenix Toy Con the same time Dustin was at Anime Weekend Atlanta. While Jonn was getting great stuff like Bloodstained on the Nintendo Switch and other great comic goodies, Dustin was getting his moment in the spotlight with a grand AMV win at the VAT Exposition contest along with an award at Youmacon AMV Contest all at the same time. Both get into topics about Marvel films, Covid guidelines between the two conventions, things we bought and #LetsGoBrandon. Dustin goes extensively on how his Initial D and B.A.D. panels went, navigating the horrendous Atlanta 285 construction/World Series traffic, meeting industry peeps like Carl Horn, picking up import games of such anime series at random, sleeping at different places with different peoples cats, reading off crappy Evangelion poetry, playing Initial D Zero in the arcade, seeing Tiffany Grant again, Anitubers who rant against AWA because of questionable panels, and much more!
(1:08:28 – 1:59:39) Closing Remarks (i.e. more Chris “Jebuzz Sanix blu hart” Chan prison letters) – This is really self explanatory, this is how we spent our time Reading. These. Letters. Anything with other politics was very brief.

We could’t go through the month of March without posting up something for you guys, so we’ve decided to just bunch everything into a super sized podcast double feature of Alita: Battle Angel and Gundam NT.
(0:00 – 1:02:10) Review: Alita: Battle Angel – Hitting off one of the super anime type movies for the month of February is the acclaimed Alita film, which did not get the type of negative feedback like Ghost in the Shell got a while ago. Both Dustin and Jonn go into the film and compare the film setting to what was used from the manga/anime. This also gets them talking about other fine films from Robert Rodriguez, the future of upcoming “soon to be” anime-to-live action films, don’t ever buy a Mitsubishi Mirage and much more.
(1:02:10 – 2:32:03) Closing Remarks from early March: These are more recent discussions from when we recorded this segment at the beginning of this month, to include topics such as Dustin going to AgamaCon and SC Comicon, chilling with Tiffany Grant (EDIT: Check our Review section for our Tiffany Grant interview because the audio link to the Tiffany Grant interview showed up on iTunes instead of our real podcast episode, so hopefully by removing the link that was here before that should get things fixed), getting to meet WWF wrasslers, Dustin chair breaks mid-recording, the Meson saga update, the epic Joe Rogan/Alex Jones Return episode talk(aka SCREW YOU JONES, WE OUT DID THE LENGTH OF THAT PODCAST SUCKAHHH!), Dustin and Josh troll Ghost on his new show, RIP Jan Micheal Vincent and Keith Flint and much more.
(2:32:03 – 2:33:14) Rightstuf Promo
(2:33:14 – 3:17:30) Review: Gundam NT Narrative – This was recorded at the end of February, which cinematic time wise it’s what came next in theaters after Alita. This particular film was a first for Gundam in America, since it’s the only Gundam property to make it to the big screen (and did so successfully than say another film), but was meet rather poorly, at least to Dustin point of view when he was awake during the film. Both Jonn and Dustin had different ideas on what the film could’ve been, which Dustin would’ve been fine with a Kelly’s Heroes Gundam type movie the way it should’ve been. This also discuss the biggest Unicorn podcasters in the past few years, some Alita talk and much more.
(3:17:30 – 4:54:19) Closing Remarks: Only a handful of things to discuss in this one, but one in particular just made us a pure VICtim to the online drama surrounding the whole #KickVic fiasco. This also includes shady Filipino eBay people, our thoughts on that Green New Deal bouncing around out there, RightStuf Gundam talk, what would America be like if John McAfee got elected as our next president and much more.
Music Selection:
OP 1 – And now our feature presentation…
ED 1 – RIP Keith Flint…
OP 2 – There’s a girl with a heart, as big as a Gundam…
ED – That deaf, dumb and snot nosed kid sure plays a mean Shogi…
